Tucked away on a quiet circle in one of Elk Grove's most sought-after neighborhoods, a 10 minute walk from top-rated Franklin High School and Toby Johnson Middle School just half a mile away, this beautiful home enjoys an exceptional lot location completely surrounded by single story homes, affording airy open views from all upstairs windows and unusual back yard privacy. Extensively upgraded with recent updates including HVAC (both furnace and A/C), new backyard fencing, and low-maintenance drought-friendly landscaping with fruit trees in the back yard. Extremely convenient to some of the area's best shopping, dining and entertainment and just minutes from major retailers and hotspots, this lovely home offers a terrific floor plan for both entertaining and everyday living, with an open-plan kitchen/family room designed for both intimate meals and lively gatherings where stainless steel appliances gleam against elegant granite counters while a central island provides ample space for preparation and casual dining. This thoughtful design flows seamlessly into the formal dining and living room area, where soaring high ceilings enhance the sense of spaciousness and allow for abundant natural light. Both the family room and living room are complemented by charming fireplaces. Except for the carpeted bedrooms upstairs, the entire house is floored in elegant simulated hardwood flooring with designer tile in the baths and laundry room, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated ease. Additional highlights include the extra-deep 3 car tandem garage, open upstairs loft overlooking the downstairs great room area, a full bath and ensuite bedroom downstairs, and a large walk-in closet in the primary suite.
